I checked both the 1991 and my 1997 service manuals and the lubrication list just refers to using Muti-purpose Grease on the hinges. Is the reference to a spray lubricant something in the later service manuals? I checked Honda's 1999 and 2018 TSB on recommended materials and there is no reference to a grease for the hinges.SuperLube is still around; but, very hard to find in Canada. Grainger sells it and if the local outlet does not stock it you can order on line for pick up at the local outlet with no shipping charges. Superlube has a silicone spray which appears to be very much like everybody else's silicone spray. They also have a spray synthetic PTFE lube which appears to be a spray version of the grease that Honcho likes for the window regulators & tracks. It has a volatile carrier which flashes off leaving a heavy lubricant base so may be a better option than the straight silicone lube. With the volatile carrier it might work to penetrate the hinge pin area once you have the hinges clean - mine look pretty grungy.
